      Scotland has made a bold and compassionate commitment to ensuring that all care-experienced children and young people grow up loved, safe, and respected. The Promise is a pledge to transform the care system, based on the voices and experiences of those who have lived through it. It calls for real change—shifting policies, practices, and mindsets to put children’s rights and well-being at the heart of decision-making.

      In this short micro learning course, you'll explore what The Promise means, why it matters, and how we can all play a role in making it a reality. Whether you’re a professional, a caregiver, or simply someone who cares, this is your opportunity to be part of a movement that ensures every child in Scotland has the love and support they deserve.
